1 To e Angel of e Mormon Church Joseph Herrin ( ) Angel Moroni atop a Mormon Temple A recent new article reported e following: New Mormon temple's angel struck by lightning Associated Press - June 15, :44 PM ET SOUTH JORDAN, Utah (AP) - Moer Nature left her mark on a new Mormon temple over e weekend when a lightning strike hit e building, blackening e golden angel at tops it. The 60,000 square-foot Oquirrh Mountain Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was hit Saturday during a rain storm. Church spokeswoman Kim Farah says no structural damage resulted from e strike on e Angel Moroni. She says a crew will re-gild e 10-foot-6-inch statue soon. Most Mormon temples are topped wi a statue of e angel, who Mormons believe led church founder Joseph Smi to e golden plates from which e

2 Book of Mormon originated. The Oquirrh temple is Utah's 13 and e 130 church temple worldwide. It will open in late August and will serve an estimated 83,000 Latter-day Saints. [End Article] You will note e prominence of e number 13 in is event. The Oquirrh Temple is Utah s 13 Mormon Temple and e 130 Worldwide. The angel was struck by lightning on June 13. Below is a picture of e Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Oquirrh Mountain Mormon Temple The main construction of e temple is complete, and it is open for e public to view, but dedication services and actual use of e Temple are not scheduled until August. Beyond doubt ere is a profound message in is event. The statue of e angel Moroni being struck by lightning and his image tarnished, requiring at

3 it be re-gilded, can only be viewed as an act of divine judgment. We can understand more clearly e reason for e judgment when we understand e significance God attaches to e number irteen. E.W. Bullinger, in his book Number in Scripture shares e following information. As to e significance of irteen, all are aware at it has come down to us as a number of ill-omen. Many superstitions cluster around it, and various explanations are current concerning em. Unfortunately, ose who go backwards to find a reason seldom go back far enough. The popular explanations do not, so far as we are aware, go furer back an e Apostles. But we must go back to e first occurrence of e number irteen in order to discover e key to its significance. It occurs first in Gen 14:4, where we read "Twelve years ey served Chedorlaomer, and e irteen year ey REBELLED." Hence every occurrence of e number irteen, and likewise of every multiple of it, stamps at wi which it stands in connection wi rebellion, apostasy, defection, corruption, disintegration, revolution, or some kindred idea... But it is when we come to GEMATRIA at e most wonderful results are seen. These results may be stated us, briefly: That e names of e LORD's people are multiples of eight, while e names of ose who apostatized, or rebelled, or who were in any sense His enemies, are multiples of irteen... No human foresight or arrangement could have secured such a result beforehand; no human powers could have carried it out in such perfection. No matter where we look, we find e working of e law wiout cessation, wiout a break, wiout a flaw from beginning to end. Only one conclusion is possible, and at is at e Bible has but one Auor, an eternal, omniscient Auor, designing, superintending, working, and carrying out His own infinite plans. [Source: eb-nis/eight.htm#205] The number irteen is considered an evil omen, a sign of some future evil which is to befall a person or group. The Scriptures associate is number wi rebellion and apostasy. Apostasy is defined as a divorce or defection from e tru. We see also at e number irteen is related to defection and corruption, and truly when Joseph Smi introduced e Book of Mormon to e world in 1830 he led many people into apostasy. These first Mormon

4 disciples met in Freemason s Lodges in Illinois, which were dubbed Mormon Lodges, and e influence of e Luciferian Freemasonry is observed in eir doctrines and practices to is day. Joseph Smi claimed to have been guided to e golden plates upon which were written e words of e Book of Mormon, by e angel Moroni. Joseph Smi described Moroni as an angel of light. Concerning Joseph Smi, e founder and an early apostle of e Mormon Church, and e angel Moroni, e apostle Paul has someing to say. II Corinians 11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising emselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise emselves as servants of righteousness; whose end shall be according to eir deeds. The judgment of God is apparent in e event at occurred on June 13. This golden angel which was shining brilliantly in e Sun was blackened by a lightning strike. Yahweh has removed e disguise placed upon is angel, revealing its true nature as a messenger of darkness, of apostasy, corruption and rebellion. Some have concluded at Joseph Smi s fabrication of e angel Moroni came from his familiarity wi e adventures of Captain Kidd. Some scholars have eorized at Smi became familiar wi e name "Moroni" rough his study of e treasure-hunting stories of Captain William Kidd. Because Kidd was said to have buried treasure in e Comoros islands, and Moroni is e name of e capital city and largest settlement in e Comoros, it has been suggested at Smi borrowed e name of e settlement and applied it to e angel who led him to buried treasure e golden plates. Complementing is proposal is e eory at Smi borrowed e names of e Comoros islands and applied em to e hill where he found e golden plates, which he named Cumorah. [Source: I have some correspondence wi people who have joined emselves to e Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (The Mormon Church). I am persuaded at some of e people of God are found in is church. I also

5 believe e Spirit is testifying to em rough is sign at an evil judgment must soon befall all ose who have joined emselves to e confusion of Babylon. If e people of God would not share in e punishment coming upon all manifestations of Babylon, ey must swiftly come out from among her. Revelation 18:4-5 And I heard anoer voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, at you may not participate in her sins and at you may not receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. This event brings to mind a Scriptural association at is made between fallen angels and lightning. Luke 10:18 And He said to em, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning. The hour is very late. The consequences of remaining in Babylon when e Spirit of Christ is calling His people to come out, will be swift and severe. Let ose wi understanding hear e voice of e Spirit of Christ and obey.

6 To e Angel of e Mormon Church- Part 2 Joseph Herrin ( ) Less at two weeks ago I reported on an event at contained a message for e people of God who find emselves joined to e Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, also known as e Mormon Church. Atop each of e 130 Mormon Temples stands a statue of e angel Moroni. The 13 temple in Utah was recently built when e golden angel atop e spire was struck by lightning and blackened. In e previous article e following information was included. Some scholars have eorized at Smi became familiar wi e name "Moroni" rough his study of e treasure-hunting stories of Captain William Kidd. Because Kidd was said to have buried treasure in e Comoros islands, and Moroni is e name of e capital city and largest settlement in e Comoros, it has been suggested at Smi borrowed e name of e settlement and applied it to e angel who led him to buried treasure e golden plates. Complementing is proposal is e eory at Smi borrowed e names of e Comoros islands and applied em to e hill where he found e golden plates, which he named Cumorah. [Source: Now, two weeks later, e Comoros Islands, and eir largest city and capital, Moroni, are in e news. A Yemeni plane wi 153 people aboard crashed just short of Comoros, and only one person, a young girl, is reported to have survived. Miracle crash girl survived 13 hours at sea The Associated Press updated 2:18 p.m. ET, Wed., July 1, 2009 MORONI, Comoros - Despite a fractured collarbone, a teenage girl clung to e wreckage of a plane for more an 13 hours before rescuers found her floating in e Indian Ocean, auorities said Wednesday. She is e only known survivor of e crash. The Yemenia Airbus 310 jet was carrying 153 people when it went down in howling winds early Tuesday in e sea nor of e Comoros Islands... An Associated Press reporter saw 14-year-old Bahia Bakari in a Comoros hospital Wednesday as she was visited by government officials. She was

7 conscious wi bruises on her face and a gauze bandage on her elbow. Her hair was pulled back and she was covered by a blue blanket. Her uncle, Joseph Yousouf, said Bahia had a fracture on her collarbone. "It is a true miracle. She is a courageous young girl," Alain Joyandet, France's minister for international cooperation, said at e hospital. He said she held onto a piece of e plane from 1:30 a.m Tuesday to 3:00 p.m., en signaled a passing boat, which rescued her... The girl's faer told French radio at his oldest daughter could "barely swim" but managed to hang on. Kassim Bakari, who spoke wi his oldest daughter by phone, said Bahia was ejected and found herself beside e plane. "She couldn't feel anying, and found herself in e water. She heard people speaking around her but she couldn't see anyone in e darkness," Bakari said on France's RTL radio. "She's a very timid girl, I never ought she would escape like at." [Source: The plane at crashed was heading to Moroni, which is e same name Joseph Smi ascribed to e angel at led him to e golden tablets at were engraved wi e book of Mormon. I have written previously of e relationship between e Mormon church and Freemasonry. Freemasonry is a manifestation of e Babylonian mystery religions, and Joseph Smi and e early members of e Mormon Church were members of Masonic lodges, and held eir meetings in what have been termed Mormon Lodges. In e presentation Freemasonry, e Spirit of Babylon, I have shared from e writings of Masonry s leaders at it is e principle of Freemasonry to deliberate deceive eir members as to e true meaning of e rituals and doctrines. Only ose at e highest levels are made privy to e true beliefs of Freemasonry, which are referred to as Luciferian. Lucifer is referred to by Albert Pike, Supreme Commander of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, as e true and good God, while Adonai, e God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is referred to as a deceiver and evil. Joseph Smi and e founders of e Mormon church were also deceivers. Their Mormon doctrines are cut from e same clo as Freemasonry, and

8 many of e symbols and rites of Freemasonry can be observed to is day in e Mormon Church. In two weeks time ere have been two prominent events which contained messages to e people of God who find emselves attached to is Babylonian religious organization. It is very significant at ere were 153 people aboard e plane at crashed. 153 is e number of e elect, and signifies e righteous. There were 153 large fish at e disciples pulled out of e water on e right side of e boat at e command of Christ. Yet, in is recent news event, only one of e 153 has been found alive. The Spirit is testifying at e hour is late. It is time to depart from Babylon. Not even e righteous will be spared if ey continue to remain inside at which Yahweh is soon to judge. Revelation 18:4-9 And I heard anoer voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, at you may not participate in her sins and at you may not receive of her plagues; for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities. Pay her back even as she has paid, and give back to her double according to her deeds; in e cup which she has mixed, mix twice as much for her. To e degree at she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to e same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, 'I sit as a queen and I am not a widow, and will never see mourning.' For is reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up wi fire; for e Lord God who judges her is strong. I urge ose people of God who are joined to e Mormon Church to heed e messages at are being declared rough signs in is hour. The 13 or 14 year old girl who survived e crash said at what occurred came suddenly. She felt noing, but found herself alone in stormy seas in e dark. She heard voices, but saw no one. Will not ose who refuse to come out of Babylon experience similar ings in e days ahead?
